FTP Server help

External Since: Sep 17, 2003 Posts: 1

I am new to FTP, and I want to set up an FTP server for
multiple clients.

From within IIS, when trying to configure the Default FTP
Site, it looks as if you can only use one user account for
FTP access. I need to make it so that when someone from
one location connects to the FTP, they have to enter
credentials which in turn will give them access to a
certain directoy on our server, and when someone from
another location connects, they enter different
credentials and in turn they have access to different
directories. I can't figure out how to create multiple
user accounts from within IIS for access to our FTP site.
Do you have to create a new FTP site for each client and
do it that way? I tried that and after the second one was
created, I could not start it because it says that it has
a duplicate name. Do you need to have a separate IP
address for every FTP site? Am I doing something wrong or
misunderstanding something here? Thanks for the help.

Now, to create a new ftp site, it require a different IP or ports.
and normally you can solve your issue by creating different folder.
for different user.
